   First of all, since by your own admission, you are not a straight person,
what makes you an expert on what straight people think?
   Secondly, it's not clear to me that you are right.
   Thirdly, if your observation *is* correct (let's assume it is for the 
moment), it may not be due to malice or bias against lesbians. It may just
be that in straight relationships men and women are much more similar,
by which I mean every straight relationship involves a man and a woman.
There isn't such a dicotomy in straight relationships as there is in gay
ones, where there are two distinct classes (male and female). Straights
maybe aren't used to the idea of two distinct types.
